You have Dr. Proxy spelled as Dr. Proxie in a few places.

As usual, your stories are very... complicated.

Recursive?

Indeed.

@Vulpy's arc is pretty good.

It's a shame that you wrote "End of the Line"

I like how it builds on the existing fiction and character personalities.

That and the fact that some of my favorite characters are in it.

A few clowns short of a circus is pretty nice as well.

I am so behind on my Arc playing... and my arc building.

I'm still working on the arc that I would want you to review...

Although you could review the one(s) that I've already put up.

I can assure you that this definitely was not intended to be a 'happy' ending. It is very much another episode in the complicated lore of the Ghosts Reborn and the Shades of Vengeance.

This story (and many of the others that she has written) are a lot like "The Empire Strikes Back" as far as how it should be perceived.

Woot!

Congratulations!

There seem to be a lot of tricks that Ghost Widow has that we haven't figured out yet.

I'm still curious if she has a PBAoE hold with the size of Scirocco's EMP, because many of the reports we've seen of squishies being held have been when she is facing the other direction.

*shakes fist*

Damned Ghost Widow!

*shakes fist some more*

Thank you. I perfectly understand where you're coming from. I'll keep those tips in mind when I'm editing (and writing) in the future.

Fair enough. Although I'm unable to determine where the imagery could be improved and where the character depth dropped off.

I assisted in editing and refining the story, so I'm interested in more information on how the story is lacking so as to improve my editing and my own writing.

Sarcasm?

Awwww

Might have to check the threat level numbers on the pets. I know they made Rocky and Jack more melee aggressive and allowed them to use their ranged attacks in melee range. I wonder if their threat levels were also tweaked.

If I remember correctly, a missed snipe will still aggro the target yet has a lower chance of causing aggro to a nearby NPC. But that is also a theory that needs a lot more testing.

I always like the idea of a hovering snipe. Deactivate hover after the interrupt period (so the puller has broken LoS before the attack registers with the AV), and then having that player run like hell in the opposite direction.

The tank would lastly pick up the aggro as Ghost Widow passes by him/her.

It's worked every time I've tried it. But I must honestly say, I haven't tried it that much (maybe a half dozen times, at most).

Part III - What do I do with a villain?

Brute:
Melee damage, melee damage, melee damage: Also known as SMASH! The Brutes solid defenses and proclivity toward close quarters combat makes a good candidate for dealing damage to Yellow Mitos and held Green Mitos. The raid leader may also select several Brutes (usually of the Granite variety) to manage aggro.

Corruptor:
The Corruptor is a versatile character. They can be used for dealing damage directly to blue and green mitos. Some Corruptors have holds which are useful against green mitos. The Corruptor secondary is very useful for supporting other villains: through healing, buffing, or debuffing. The build will determine what role the Corruptor can play in the encounter.

Dominator:
The Dominator is best suited for holding and defeating green mitos. They may also be used for attacking blue (ranged) and yellow (melee) mitos, depending on the powers selected by the player.

Mastermind:
The primary and secondary of the Mastermind will determine the role that the mastermind should take. If the primary is geared toward ranged damage, blue mitos should be the primary target. If the primary is geared toward melee, yellow mitos. The Mastermind may be called upon to use their secondary powerset more than the primary for the buffing and debuffing abilities that they can offer. For example, a Dark Maisma Mastermind could be used to provide Shadow Fall (fear resistance) and Twilight Grasp to help protect the teams attacking the blue mitos, and howling twilight to mass revive the fallen.

Stalker:
The Stalker is best used along side of the Brute for dealing melee damage to yellow mitos. Additionally, they are also suited for attacking and defeating green mitos once those targets are held.

Soldier of Arachnos:
All Soldiers are damage dealers, the best use will be determined by whether the soldier was primarily built for melee combat or ranged combat.
